After her scientist father disappears, Meg Murry is drawn into a journey across space and time with her gifted younger brother Charles Wallace and their friend Calvin O'Keefe. Guided by three mysterious travelers, they follow the trail to a world controlled by a vast, conformist intelligence. Meg must face fear, isolation, and her own doubts as the children try to rescue her father and one another. The novel begins the Time Quintet and inspired the 2018 Disney film adaptation.
